  Diverticulosis is the formation of numerous tiny pockets, or diverticula, in the lining of the bowel. Diverticula, which can range from pea-size to much larger, are formed by increased pressure on weakened spots of the intestinal walls by gas, waste or liquid. Diverticula can form while straining during a bowel movement, such as with constipation. They are most common in the lower portion of the large intestine.
  
  Diverticulosis is very common and occurs in 10% of people over age 40 and in 50% of people over age 60. Most people will have no or few symptoms from diverticula, but the result can be quite serious.
  
  Complications can occur in about 20% of people with diverticulosis. One of these complications is rectal bleeding, called diverticular bleeding, and another is diverticular infection, called diverticulitis.
  
  Diverticular Bleeding
  
  Diverticular bleeding occurs with chronic injury to the small blood vessels that are next to the diverticula.
  
  Diverticulitis
  
  Diverticulitis occurs when there is inflammation and infection in one or more diverticula. This usually happens when outpouchings become blocked with waste, allowing bacteria to build up, causing infection.
  
  What Are the Symptoms of Diverticulosis
  
  Usually diverticulosis does not cause any troublesome symptoms. Some people may feel tenderness over the affected area or abdominal cramps.
  
  What Are the Symptoms of Diverticulitis
  
  Diverticulitis, infection and inflammation of diverticula, can occur suddenly and without warning.
  
  Symptoms may include:
  
  * Alternating diarrhea with constipation.
  * Painful cramps or tenderness in the lower abdomen.
  * Chills or fever.
  
  How Is Diverticulosis Diagnosed
  
  Because most people with diverticulosis do not have any symptoms, it is usually found through tests ordered for an unrelated reason.
  
  If you are experiencing the symptoms of diverticulitis, it is important to see your doctor.
  
  Your doctor will ask you questions about your medical history (such as your bowel habits, symptoms, diet and current medications) and perform a physical exam, including a digital rectal exam.
  
  One or more diagnostic tests may be ordered to help diagnose your condition. Tests may include X-rays, CT scanning, ultrasound testing, a sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and blood tests to look for signs of infection or the extent of bleeding.
  
  In people with rapid, heavy rectal bleeding, the doctor may perform a procedure called angiography to locate the source of the bleeding.
  
  How Is Diverticulitis Treated
  
  Diverticulitis sometimes resolves without medical treatment, but it frequently requires antibiotics. Sometimes the infection is so severe that it is necessary to be admitted to a hospital for intravenous antibiotics and other supportive care. Rarely, a surgeon may need to remove the affected part of the bowel.
  
  During the active stage of the infection Cheap Oakley Sunglasses, many experts recommend eating a low fiber diet and drinking plenty of water. A month or so after the infection resolves you can continue eating fiber.
  
  Emergency treatment including surgery may be needed when the antibiotics do not work, and in cases of a large abscess, perforation, peritonitis or continued rectal bleeding.
  
  What Complications Are Associated With Diverticulitis
  
  Serious complications can occur as a result of diverticulitis. Most of them are the result of the development of a tear or perforation of the intestinal wall. If this occurs, intestinal waste material can leak out of the intestines and into the surrounding abdominal cavity causing the following problems:
  
  * Peritonitis (a painful infection of the abdominal cavity)
  * Abscesses ("walled off" infections in the abdomen)
  * Obstruction (blockages of the intestine)
  
  If an abscess is present, the doctor will need to drain the fluid by inserting a needle into the infected area. Sometimes surgery is needed to clean the abscess and remove part of the colon. If the infection spreads into the abdominal cavity (peritonitis), surgery is needed to clean the cavity and remove the damaged part of the colon. Without proper treatment, peritonitis can be fatal.
  
  Infection can lead to scarring of the colon, and the scar tissue may cause a partial or complete blockage. A partial blockage does not require emergency surgery. However, surgery is required with complete blockage.
  
  Another complication of diverticulitis is the formation of a fistula. A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs, or between an organ and the skin. A common type of fistula is between the bladder and colon. This requires surgery to remove the fistula and affected part of the colon.
  
  How Can Diverticulosis Be Prevented
  
  To prevent diverticular disease or reduce the complications from it, maintain good bowel habits. Have regular bowel movements and avoid constipation and straining. Eating appropriate amounts of the right types of fiber and drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly will help keep your bowels regulated.
  
  The American Dietetic Association recommends 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. Every person, regardless of the presence of diverticula, should try to consume this much fiber every day. Fiber is the indigestible part of plant foods. High-fiber foods include whole grain breads, cereals and crackers; berries; fruit; vegetables Replica Oakleys, such as broccoli, cabbage, spinach, carrots, asparagus Replica Ray Bans, squash and beans; brown rice; bran products; and cooked dried peas and beans, among other foods.
  
  Drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, monitoring changes in bowel movements (from constipation to diarrhea) and getting enough rest and sleep, are other ways to prevent diverticular disease.
  

  Together with our friends Frank and Mila and a mixed group from Singapore and Indonesia Amy and I spent our "vacation" in Tibet from 27 May to 02 June 2009. A great experience that we probably only make once. Why this adventure? For a long time the "Roof of the World" was one of my dream destinations. Unfortunately, I did not know that this would be less a vacation, but rather an adventure with some quite tough encounters.

  
  

  Our stopover in Shanghai Pudong should be without any problems - just in the transit area of the airport. However, our plans are slightly changed. Due to the global swine flu epidemic, outside visitors to China are not immediately allowed to leave the plane, but need to undergo a health test. A team of four physicians dressed in space suits enters the plane, while all passengers remain in their seats. These physicians carry infrared temperature meters, which are shaped like pistols. With the pistols they "shoot" from a distance of one meter on the forehead of each passenger and then read the temperature. Since this action is probably already in flesh and blood, one loses just a bit of time. After a few minutes everything is over. Only one thing must not happen: There must be no coughing or sneezing to be heard. This would cause a complicated investigation process to trigger quarantine for all passengers at the end.

  Our flight from Singapore via Shanghai and Xian to Xining is without any problems. Our China Eastern Airline has changed over the last few years a great deal: There are almost exclusively Airbus planes with modern furnishings. Only on domestic flights, the equipment is not made for non-Chinese people. So I push with my rather normal-shaped nose the back of the seat in front of me when he decides to sleep. Chinese design. The best would be all the seats would automatically turn to sleep at the same time, like a pack of biscuits in De Beukelaer all tilt at once. No more misunderstandings and lots of space. I try to imagine how American citizens would fit into this kind of seat. That should probably look something like how a half-melted ice-cream between two waffles.
